in Club Activities The Pep Club is the spirit making body at F.H.S, Dedicated members make posters and signs for many athletic events. During football season, the goal posts are colorfully decorated and the gym looks attractive with decorations for basketball games. The Pep Club is also responsible for keeping enthusiasm and spirit in the spectators. It is most certainly seen that without the Pep Club tire athletic program would not be as successful as it is. Students decorate the goal posts on Friday afternoons for the football games. The Interact Club is composed of boys who are selected on the basis of their character, scholar- ship, leadership ability, and trust- worthiness. Among their many ac- tivities are the sponsoring of Slave Day and the selling of the Franklin Bronco penants. It is a service or- ganization which strives to attain high goals in the school as well as in the community. The auctioning of Interact Club members was enjoyed and highlighted by the partici- pation of the student body during Slave Day.
